Hi all,

I put the hardtop on my cab a few weeks back for the first time and noticed that there was a slight gap on the drivers side between the front and rear window and the rubber under the hardtop. The gap is about 3mm but enough to make my seat wet when it rains :(.

I thought that by adjusting the height with the special wrench might help but it didn't. Is this normal? What can I do to try and fix this?

I've tried to take the hardtop off and place it back on again to see if it might be lower on one side but still the same problem.

The passenger side is fine.

thanks in advance,
J

You'll need to adjust the window traval slightly - your hard roof is sitting slightly higher than what the soft frame does.

East enough done on the door glass but a pain in the ar5e on the rear!!

I adjusted the top down on the screws...if the windows fit with the soft top you should not need to adjust them

DaveD which screws are you reffering to? The ones that actually lock down the hardtop?
